Library [09/26]

[furnaceface]

There was music in the library today. It wasn't the same, loud, pervasive music that Jonothon normally opted to, however. Today it was almost like a whisper of music. Like a hundred little voices all joining together in song.

... Or, more accurately, the rustling of the pages of every book on the subject of music in the entire library, all rising up in glorious, but quiet, harmony.

They'd just finished Sound of Silence, and were moving on with Scarborough Fair when Jono came in, levelled that aisle with a look, and then shook his head and set to work shelving things. Occasionally, things that were singing at him.

Ah, Fandom.

[Open! And listening to Simon and Garfunkel.]

Mod Your Library!

[furnaceface]

If you choose to go at it alone, there's a chance that the books will sing I Am A Rock at you.

~Sail on, silver girl... sail on by....~

Scully was resolutely ignoring the books... well, up until the point where she tried to interrogate one about "why Simon and Garfunkel?" and just got Sounds of Silence in return.

Sighhhh. Then she was back studying her Russian, and humming along, very softly, very off-key.

"Studying?" Rosalind enquired abruptly, leaning against the back of the chair.

Hellos were... not for her today, apparently.

William had several books on wolves and werewolves, and was now looking through the newspaper archives for any sort of evidence of previous wolf (or alleged wolf) attacks in the Baltimore area.

Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

Who isn't actually as annoyed by the books' sudden desire to serenade him with Simon and Garfunkel music as perhaps he's letting on, no.

At least they're keeping good harmony.

"breaking my heart ... shaking my confidence daily," Henry sang softly as he came into the library, then cocked his head. "Morning," he said, wandering over to the coffeemaker. "So. Singing books today?"

Watch, he'd sound casual about that. Or try.

//Singing books today,// Jono confirmed, giving his shoulders a shrug at that revelation. He'd been here for over a year, now. The onions were, by far, stranger yesterday than the books today. //I suppose there are worse things they could be up to.//

But he wasn't going to list any of those things off, lest the books start getting ideas.

Oh Cecelia... I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please...

Raven had two reasons to come to the library today -- personal and "professional." But the personal was much more pleasing. "Good morning, Jono," she said cheerfully.

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//Raven,// Jono replied, inclining his head a little as he tucked a book into place on the book cart that didn't seem quite so keen on keeping rhythm with the rest. //How's today treatin' you thus far, Sunshine?//

Faramir paused as he entered the library, tilting his head at the strange music which filled the room. He listened for a while, until he spotted Jonothon and was reminded of his purpose here.

"Good day," he greeted and motioned around them. "This is something new."

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//Give them a day or so,// Jono mused. //They'll get bored with it soon enough, I'm certain.//

Yes. The books would get bored. Really, boredom was probably what had driven them to making music in the first place.

Re: Talk to Jono!

Scully looked up from her Russian verbs after a bit, and said in a slightly surprised tone (surprised other people were around; she'd been a little absorbed), "Oh, hello, Faramir. It's been a while."

Rosalind arrived... mostly because he'd made an issue of her not showing up but partly because, really, she needed the third of the stupidest book series ever and that meant Jono had to read the second.

"You've got the books slacking off now as well?" she snarked, mildly for her.

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

But it had fairies in it!

Someday, when there were little blue sound-based Jono fairies fluttering about, he'd have you to thank for the inspiration, Rosalind.

//It took a bit of effort, but I think I managed to get them to all sing in key,// Jono replied, bemused. //More difficult than it looks, when you can't do any singing of yer own, you know.//

He had nothing to do with the singing, no.

John had had no intention of coming to the library.

That is, he'd had none until Sherlock had grabbed his coat and mentioned something about 'an errand', and... well.

John knew which day Jono's shift was. So he'd hitched along, and now he was... here. "Good morning." Playing human shield, apparently.

Re: Talk to Jono!

Because John was the only person who wouldn't attempt to murder him in the everyday life.

...and it helped that he moved all the body parts into the walk in cooler provided by the hotel.

"Botany," Sherlock said, looking past Jono for the moment.

Generally speaking, William Murdoch managed to observe most of the required social niceties. Except, of course, when distracted by some sort of scientific curiousity, in which case all chances of proper hellos and how-do-you-do's went out the window.

"At least," William said, trying desperately to look for some sort of bright side to Fandom being so weird, "the books aren't spending their time being rude to people."

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//Mmm, like yesterday's onions?// Jono shrugged his shoulders a bit. He could dismiss the singing books. //They're harmless, in here. A bit odd from time to time, but a little Scarborough Fair never hurt anybody, did it?//

And really, it sounded pretty good, too.

"Jono? I have a couple questions," Scully said when she was taking a break from her studying. One was more of an excuse than a question, but... "If you're not too busy."

When I think back on all the crap I've learned in high school
It's a wonder I can think at all
Though my lack of education hasn't hurt me much
I can read the writings on the walls

Scully gave that book a perturbed look.

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//I might or might not have answers,// Jono replied, glancing up from what he was doing... which wasn't much of anything at all. He had one foot in the trash bin, trying to shut up the only book in the library that had taken it upon itself to be different by singing Justin Bieber instead of Simon and Garfunkel. //What can I help you with, gel?//

Talk To The Librarian!

[furnaceface]

When he pings in!

OOC!

[furnaceface]

This post has been brought to you by cranberry tea with honey in, the sinus headache that would never die, and the fact that my dad randomly decided that he wanted to listen to Simon and Garfunkel this morning, and so I've spent the last hour trying to get YouTube to work on my PS3 without throwing my controller at it, yay!

Re: OOC!

[trigons_child]

Hey, I like Scarborough Fair.

In fact, I have five covers of it. :D

Re: OOC!

[furnaceface]

Eeee, shiny! :D

I am totally not knocking Simon and Garfunkel, I swear it! I'm just cursing the tricksy ways of YouTube while I try to navigate it with a joystick and an X-button. o.o

Re: OOC!

[weetuskenraider]

Mmmm, Simon and Garfunkel. I feel it may explain a lot about me when I say that my sixth grade year, I pretty much listened to three Simon and Garfunkel albums repeatedly, all year and that was all.
